Hawthorn, garlic, olive leaf and green tea. If you've read anything about natural heart support, those four will sound familiar. They're at the core of Bazopril, a capsule from Advanced BioHealth designed to support healthy blood pressure.
The company gives them poetic, traditional names. Hawthorn appears as albaspine, "the Crown of Jesus." Garlic appears as lasuna bulb, the Sanskrit name, nicknamed the "Nectar of Gods." I enjoyed that bit of history.
The kidney connection
The company's explanation starts with research from the University of Virginia on the kidneys and a hormone called renin. Your kidneys really are central to blood pressure, and the renin system they control is one of the main ways your body manages it. The page links to two journal articles on the topic. The company's view is that supporting this system naturally is the key to healthy blood pressure.
The six ingredients with their old names
Albaspine (hawthorn), "the Crown of Jesus"
Conifer berry
Elaion tree leaf extract (elaion is the Greek word for olive)
Mallow flower, the "Hindu Goddess Flower"
Lasuna bulb (garlic), the "Nectar of Gods"
Camellia sinensis (green tea)
The references at the bottom of the page cite research on hawthorn.
What the other ingredients bring
Garlic is probably the most studied food for heart health, with human research on healthy blood pressure. Olive leaf, from the same tree that gives us olive oil, has its own studies showing support for healthy blood pressure, and it's a natural fit with the Mediterranean diet. Hawthorn berries and leaves have been used in European heart formulas for centuries.
Green tea brings its well known antioxidants. The mallow family of flowers has its own long tradition in herbal teas, and conifer berries round out the blend.
It's a thoughtful, food based approach to heart support, and I like that the ingredients have such long track records.
Quality notes
The company says each batch is made in a GMP certified facility and tested by a third party lab using HPLC and microbiology testing. That kind of batch testing is a good sign. Each bottle holds 60 capsules.
Two label points to know. The page doesn't list amounts for any ingredient, so you can't compare the garlic or hawthorn with the doses used in studies. And the FAQ describes an "FDA Approved facility"; the FDA registers supplement facilities but doesn't approve them, so read that as FDA registered.
Price, bonuses and a year long guarantee
One bottle: $69
Three bottles: $177 ($59 each)
Six bottles: $294 ($49 each) with free shipping and two bonuses
One of the bonuses is "The Heart's Kitchen," a guide to desserts and superfoods for heart health. You may also see a buy two, get one deal on the site. All purchases are one-time payments, shipping usually takes 3 to 5 business days, and ClickBank processes the order.
The guarantee is a standout: 365 days. A full year to decide.
Who it's for
Adults who want to support healthy blood pressure with familiar, time tested ingredients like garlic, hawthorn and olive leaf, ideally as part of a heart healthy lifestyle. If your doctor is happy for you to try diet, exercise and supplements, it's a nice option to consider.
A home blood pressure cuff is a great companion. It lets you track your readings over time and share them with your doctor. I'd take a reading at the same time each morning, before coffee, and jot it down. Over a couple of months you'll have a real record of your readings, and your doctor will appreciate the data.
As for taking it, follow the directions on the label. Tying your capsules to breakfast is an easy routine to remember, and it pairs nicely with a heart healthy morning meal.
An important friendly note. Please don't stop or reduce prescribed blood pressure medication on your own, and talk to your doctor before starting Bazopril. One testimonial on the page comes from a woman who says she reacts badly to blood pressure medicine; if that's you, that's a conversation for your doctor, not a reason to swap your prescription for a capsule. Hawthorn and garlic can add to the effect of blood pressure drugs and blood thinners, which could drop your pressure too low or raise bleeding risk, so your doctor will want to know.
Good food, daily walks, less salt and good sleep all help your heart too. If you'd like to add a traditional herbal formula to that, the current offers are on the official Bazopril page.
